History is the essence of innumerable lives and as such beyond our understanding. We can only, as people say, form an idea of it. To sort out in every generation our ideas of history and to test them against the evidence available is the task of the historian. Unless this is done, human society remains without true knowledge of its past and presumably indifferent to its future. The concern of this book is with the economic characteristics and transformations of British society in the thirty or forty years before 1914, within the lifetime of men and women who had already reached middle-life when the First World War broke out.

During the years before 1914 the world’s still largely unused resources were brought increasingly within the framework of a single world economy. This process owed much to Britain’s ability to export capital on a scale which has never since been equalled. Yet periods of heavy investment overseas alternated with home investment booms that absorbed the greater part of Britain’s savings. The reasons for this fluctuation, and the mechanism which linked Britain’s economic development with the rest of the world, are still subject to debate. This volume illuminates the problems of the global economy today by examining different interpretations and research from history.

This book is a study of the relationship between the use of energy in society and the general pattern of development in Great Britain during the 1870-1914 era. Professor Adams argues that Britain's apparent 'decline' in this period was not in fact a decline but a levelling off in capacity to do work, a result of the country's collective decision to invest more heavily abroad than at home. This pattern accords with Lotka's general energetic principle of natural selection. Specifically, Britain found it necessary to invest abroad, thereby creating an industrial environment for its own products and giving the impetus to other industrial nations - especially the United States and Germany - to seriously threaten Britain's primary position in industry and trade. The book should be of interest to those concerned with development, economic growth, energy and society, cultural development, and in general to specialists in anthropology, sociology, European and British history, economics and economic history.

Essay from the year 2004 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 2,0, University of Birmingham (Department of History), course: The History of Modern Britain, 6 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: At the end of the 19thcentury Great Britain experienced an economic decline, the reasons for which are still controversially discussed among historians. While some stress the changes in the world economy due to the spread of industrialization in the 19th century, others hold the view that serious failings within the domestic economy are the major causes for Britain’s downfall. After a short description of the degree of Britain’s decline before 1914, some of the major reasons for Britain’s relative economic decline will be analyzed and compared. The aim of this paper will be to evaluate the severity of external changes that the British had no control of as well as internal failings within the British economy that contributed to Britain’s relative economic decline. Writing about Britain’s economic decline at the end of the 19thCentury, it is first of all necessary to define in how far one can speak of a ‘decline’. Most historians point out that Britain’s economic decline is only a relative one. They argue that in comparison to Britain’s earlier growth or in relation to the growth of other advanced countries, like e.g. the USA or Germany, one can realize a decline in the economic performance of Great Britain but that in general there was no decline in the last third of the 19thcentury. Alford renders it more precisely by saying that: “British enterprise, it will be argued, did not decline during this period: it remained remarkably constant and inflexible.” In fact Britain’s GDP was still rising between 1870 and 1890 but, like mentioned before; the annual rate of growth was much slower. According to Crouzet Britain achieved a growth rate of 3.1 per cent from 1811 to 1877, while it fell to only 1.6 per cent between 1877 and 1913. That causes historians to differ in terms of the beginning of the decline. Most historians refer to the year 1873 when they talk about the beginning of Britain’s decline while others argue that Britain achieved its most rapid growth in industrial production in the 1820s and 1830s and that the time of Victoria’s accession could therefore be regarded as the true beginning of the relative economic decline. Nevertheless, in this paper the time around 1870 will be regarded as the beginning of Britain’s economic decline since it was between 1870 and 1913 that Britain’s share of the total world industrial production fell from 31.8 per cent to 14 per cent.
